Style Spotlight: 7 Cool Looks That Capture G-Dragon’s Fluid Style
All eyes on G
In the early days of the K-pop wave, long before the emergence of BTS and Blackpink, we had Big Bang—one of the most groundbreaking musical groups who ruled the scene, making history with every release since their debut in 2006. Leading the four-member pack is none other than Kwon Ji-Yong—better known as G-Dragon—a virtuoso, trailblazer, and trendsetting fashion icon acclaimed for his adventurous and androgynous style.
Aside from his heavy influence in today’s K-pop culture, Kwon’s fearless sense of style has also made him the first Korean celebrity and the first Asian man to become a Chanel ambassador. From edgy, chain-laced military looks to eclectic punk ensembles topped oversized fur hats, the fashion shapeshifter has done it all. If you’re heading to his Übermensch show at Axiata Arena this weekend, consider these fashion moments your style playbook.
Pearls and punk
At his Sydney show earlier this month, the military mood came through in a navy pearl-embellished Chanel jacket, offset by ripped skinny jeans and Rick Owens x Dr. Martens 1918 DMXL boots—blending high fashion with a dose of streetwear attitude.
Scarf game strong
Back in the spotlight with a new album, G-Dragon is once again setting the trend—this time with the cap-scarf pairing. At the airport, he layered a ‘Power’ baseball cap over a white scarf printed with soft pink florals. Add in a red houndstooth cardigan, bootcut denim, and a customised Chanel Classic Flap bag streaked with colour, and you’ve got a look that’s expressive and unmistakably his.
Daisy in the details
At the Jacob & Co. opening in Seoul, the versatile artist stepped out in a dark blue tailored suit, adorned with a delicate daisy-shaped brooch in white gold. The accessories were just as intentional—a boater hat and softly tinted sunglasses, which lent the ensemble a polished, almost cinematic quality.
Pastel rebel
Heading to the Chanel Cruise 2023 show in Monte Carlo, the superstar took on a smart-casual approach in a pastel blue Chanel knit cardigan, worn over a white button-down shirt and paired with black skinny trousers and chic Mary Jane footwear.
Runway energy
Trust G-Dragon to treat an art fair like a runway. At the Chanel x Frieze event during Frieze Seoul 2023, he arrived in a full leather set, a romantic ruffled shirt, and clean white oxfords.
Pearl pressure
Once again dressed head-to-toe in Chanel, his elegant outfit was elevated with demure pearl accessories, including the classic interlocking C brooch. A blue silk blouse beautifully complemented his blonde-pink hair, emanating a soft sophistication.
Street meets sleek
Wearing a clean oversized suit to the We11done Menswear AW21 show, G-Dragon added contrast with graffiti-print sneakers and a tag-covered bag.
